mountain man Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 I'd like to put several PTE slide shows onto a single DVD. But Video Builder seems to require a new DVD disc for each show. Is there a way for me to create a multiple-show DVD, with a start menu that lets you viewer decide which of the shows he'd like to see?I suppose I could take several shows and combine them into one, and then make a DVD of that. But how would the viewer then choose which show he wanted to see, if he wanted to see only a particular one?Thanks much.Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountain man Posted September 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Oops, maybe I should have put this question into the general PTE forum, since it doesn't relate to video (only slide shows using stills). But anyway, thanks for any help on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davegee Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 maybe i'm missing something. isn't that what VB does?add as many projects as required.dg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Yachtsman1 Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 It depends on the sizes of your slide shows. Normal DVD discs are 4.7GB capacity. A one hour exe show could take up most of this space on a DVD. I tried it a couple of years ago but gave up in the end. I believe Blu Ray discs have a higher capacity but have no experience using them or their hardware.Yachtsman1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountain man Posted September 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 maybe i'm missing something. isn't that what VB does?add as many projects as required.dgMaybe I'M the one who's missing something . . . . . VB seems to allow me to put only a single PTE show (not multiple shows) onto a DVD. Then it instructs me to eject the DVD. At that point, the only alternative I'm left with is to reinsert the DVD and try to add another show, but VB then says the "disc is not empty" and won't accept the new show. Am I using the wrong type of DVD? What am I missing here?(By the way, the size of the shows is not an issue, since I can readily fit several of my shows on one DVD.)PS: If/when I figure out how to add multiple shows to the disc, I'm still unclear how I would give the viewer the option to play only selected shows (rather than all of them).Again, thanks much for any help.Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobeefstu Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 mountain man,You have to browse the file list (or select the folder to browse other directories) and drag the additional shows to the DVD List. Select Create Menu if you want the Shows launched as a menu item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountain man Posted September 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 To all those who were willing to offer help to someone who should have been able to figure it out on his own -- Many thanks. I now see how simple it is to add multiple shows to a disc.Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
